A story of survival, transformation, and purpose.

From Near Death To Peak Health

At 56 years old, I am in the best shape of my life—mentally, physically, and spiritually. But my path to health wasn’t a straight line. It’s been forged in the fire of depression, chronic illness, and one life-threatening medical event that changed me forever. Now, my mission is to teach you how to take control of your health, break free from the broken sick-care system, and build a body and mind that thrive—no matter your age or starting point.

16 Week Transformation

The Early Years

I first caught the fitness bug in 1994 at the age of 24. I got my first certification, started personal training, and dove headfirst into the world of bodybuilding & fitness. Back then, I was obsessed with the aesthetic changes—gaining muscle, getting lean, and helping others transform their appearance. But I had no idea that the real transformation happens on the inside—at the cellular level.

It would take years of hard lessons to discover this inescapable truth.

The Crash: Depression & Hormone Collapse

In my early 40s, I hit rock bottom! The vibrant energy and drive I once had were gone. I was battling depression, fatigue, and a sense that something was deeply off. I went to a doctor, hoping for answers. Instead, I got prescriptions for SSRIs—pills that made me feel even less like myself. Not once did he think to check my hormone levels.

Frustrated, I sought a second opinion. That doctor immediately ran a hormone panel, and the results were shocking: my testosterone levels were so low, they were off the charts. I started TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy), and within weeks, my energy, clarity, and motivation returned. But more importantly, I gained a new purpose: to understand how hormones act as master switches for both physical and mental health.

Reversing Chronic Illness Naturally

After that, I doubled down on my mission. I became a relentless student of the human body—how it works, how it heals, and how it thrives. I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in my 30s—a condition that doctors told me would require lifelong medication. Through natural, lifestyle-based strategies, I’ve kept it in complete remission for over 18 years.

Later, I developed SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)—a condition that affects up to 70% of the population. It completely derailed my health and forced me to dive deep into gut health, digestive repair, and the gut-brain connection.

The Coma That Changed Everything

In 2015, my life nearly ended. I checked myself into the hospital with severe upper stomach pain, convinced I was dying. The doctors ran every test possible and found nothing—yet they loaded me up with pain medication to “manage symptoms.” Well that cocktail of meds landed me into a coma with a tube down my throat, fighting for my life! My wife and daughter were brutalized with a combination of both fear & helplessness. How could this have happened....to ME of all people? Wanna know the kicker? After a month in the hospital, a team of doctors running every test imaginable on me and a month in a coma, the pain turned out to be nothing more than a bad case of gas, which could have been relieved with a simple over-the-counter pill.

It was only by the grace of God, a well-timed substitute doctor, and my wife’s unrelenting determination that I survived. After doing her own research, she finally demanded I be taken off the pain meds and off the ventilator immediately. That  allowed me to recover in less than a week and released. Needless to say, that experience was my wake-up call. I realized that the mainstream sick-care system isn’t designed to heal—it’s designed to medicate. And I vowed that I would never again put my life in the hands of that system.

My Five Pillars of Health

Out of these hard-earned lessons, I developed my 5 Pillars of Health Protocol—a system that focuses on building true health from the inside out:

  1. Muscle-Centric Training – Because lean muscle is the organ of longevity and strength is the ultimate marker of vitality.

  2. Cellular-Level Nutrition & Supplementation – Fueling your body where it counts, not with fads or gimmicks.

  3. Restorative Sleep & Circadian Rhythm Reset – Repairing your body while you sleep.

  4. Gut Health & Digestive Rebuilding – Healing the command center of your immune system and energy.

  5. Hormone Balance & Nervous System Optimization – Aligning your body’s master regulators for physical and mental performance.
